Kenny was thorough, punctual and extremely knowledgeable. He helped pick some fairly big faults with a car I intend to purchase. He was really helpful to us and I would highly highly recommend him. Will never buy a car without asking Kenny to assist. Thank you Kenny!

I need pre purchase car inspection

$5

Really knowledgeable and told us exactly what is wrong with our car, even though the news is awful we are thankful there is someone like him who knows what they are talking about and we can take the next steps to fix it. Couldn't reccomend more. I have seen over 50 mechanics in Oz and he's the first who really knows his stuff and has diagnosed our issue.

Pre-purchase car inspection.

Eastwood SA, Australia

26th Jan 2025

Hi guys, Looking for a (preferred) mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection on a Mazda 3 MPS located in Eastwood, SA. I'm located in Melbourne, VIC, and this is why I'm requesting this inspection remotely. Most important to me are: - Checking of service history legitimacy - Potential roadworthy items which I may be required to fix once I get it back to Victoria - Any potential mechanical issues, so preferred knowledge on known issues for this model is preferred - Interior and exterior inspection - making sure to note any paint chips, scratches, torn carpet, scuffs on trims or missing trims etc. Thanks, Harley.

He's a legend. Was very prompt and made it super easy for me as I live in another state. Gave him 3 hours notice to do the job and he still did it, which I very much appreciated. He gave a fairly well detailed physical report and a verbal discussion relating to my issues and concerns. Very professional, would use again. Cheers legend.

Brake System: • Evaluate brake pad thickness, rotor condition, and brake fluid levels. • Test the functionality of the braking system, including the emergency brake. 4. Suspension and Steering: • Inspect shock absorbers, struts, and suspension components for damage or wear. • Test steering alignment and response during a short test drive. 5. Electrical System: • Check the battery health, lights, and electronic components such as the infotainment system, power windows, and central locking. 6.
